Jayvee Enaguas (HarvettFox96) reviewed the copyright for the animated short film on December 26, 2021, which includes most materials and elements.
A copyright notice that reads "Copyright MCMXLVI by Paramount Pictures, Inc. All rights reserved." was removed on the opening title card sequence due to rightsholder transfers.
Paramount filed a registration entry of the animated short film three days after the release date.
National Telefilm Associates (who acquired U.M. & M. library containing pre-October 1950 titles in 1956) didn’t file a renewal entry of the animated short film for the original copyright within a required 28-year period throughout 1973 (1, 2) and 1974 (1, 2).
Therefore, the animated short film entered the public domain on the first day of January 1975.
The animated short film is freely available and distributable in both physical and digital formats.
